Jointl Gaussian. and are said to be jointl Gaussian i their joint pd is given b, 1/ πσ σ(1 ρ ) x μ x μ μ μ ρ + σ σ σ σ (1 ρ ) 1 ( x, ) = e g1 Note that there are ive parameters: μ, σ, μ, σ, and ρ. ρ is reerred to as the correlation coeicient between and. x μ ( x μ ) μ μ ρ + ( ) σ Exponent o. 1 σ σ σ eq g = (1 ) ρ x μ (1 )( x μ ) ( x μ ) μ μ ρ + ρ ρ + ( ) σ σ σ σ σ = (1 ρ ) x μ (1 )( x μ ) μ ρ + ρ σ σ σ = (1 ρ ) σ μ ρ ( x μ ) ( x μ ) σ = σ σ (1 ρ ) The joint pd in eq. g1 can be written as the product o two Gaussian pd's 1, ( x, ) = e πσ ( x μ ) σ 1 1/ πσ (1 ρ ) σ μ ρ ( x μ ) σ σ (1 ) e ρ ( g) Eq. g shows the relation: ( x, ) = ( x) ( x)., The irst term is the marginal pd o, ( x), which is Gaussian N μ, σ. The second term is the conditional pd, ( x), which is also Gaussian σ Nμ + ρ ( x μ ), σ(1 ρ ). σ Alternativel we could write eq. g to show ( x, ) = ( x ).,
